About Us

Fundays in Nottinghamshire was established in 2002 to provide financial support for activities involving children and adults with learning or physical disabilities in Nottinghamshire.

In the past the charity has enabled a wide range of summer school activities organised by schools and currently is supporting an adult theatre group, The Nottingham Theatre of citizens, which meets in the evenings on a weekly basis, a dance group, Magenta, which meets weekly at Fabric (Dance 4) and a Poetry Group which meets in the Spring Term at Nottingham University. The drama group is able to perform at the Squire Performing Arts Centre due to support from Fundays in Nottinghamshire.

Fundays is also currently supporting the Playhouse Platform group at Nottingham Playhouse and the new Open Stage Company also at Nottingham Playhouse. To enable performances aimed at those with profound and multiple learning disabilities to take place at the Lakeside, University of Nottingham, Fundays has provided financial support.

With transport costs ever increasing, the charity has supported the travel costs of young adults going away on residential holidays to Derbyshire and the Lake District.

Fundays is run by a small group of Trustees who give freely of their time.
